Don't Undermine Memphremagog's Purity

Help Protect Lake Memphremagog!

New England Waste Services of Vermont (Casella, Inc.), the owner and operator of the landfill in Coventry, has applied for an amendment to their solid waste certification. If approved, this amendment would allow them to install a facility to remove (only) some of the PFAS and other contaminants that they are currently discharging into the Memphremagog watershed.
No contamination should be discharged in the Memphremagog watershed!!

Let the Vemont Department of Environmental Conservation know you want to ban all contaminated discharges!!:
